Education.

85% of the schools in Haiti are privately owned, making tuition and other fees prohibitively expensive for most families.

A USAID study found that, in part due to a lack of government oversight, the average Haitian has less than 5 years of schooling and nearly half of all students finishing the second grade could not read a single word.

Clean Hands for Haiti has long emphasized the importance of education. We place a key focus on providing educational opportunities to children who would otherwise not be able to go to school. Our objective is to prove children aged 3+ with the emotional, financial, and educational resources and support that they need to excel in school.

Resources for our students.

Our sponsored students work hard everyday, so we work hard to ensure they have all the resources they need to be successful. Thanks to generous sponsors and donors, each student that is enrolled in our program has access to the following:

Full yearly tuition

Books and writing supplies

Uniforms and backpacks

Academic support and tutoring

Access to computers

Medical and dental care

Annual historical tour

Weekly healthy meals

Workshops and classes

Hygeine supplies and vitamins

A safe place to learn.

Most of our students live in one of the roughest neighborhoods of Port au Prince. We built a Community Center in the neighborhood as a safe space for local kids to learn, study, and play. Our students have full-time access to the space which includes a weekly tutor, arts program, lectures and workshops, and a technology lab.
